T43P or T42p? Help me decide

[Ralfalla]

Greetings All,

My trusted and tried T21 is Fading and its time for a new machine. I want at least Sxga+ and have neen looking at the T42 and T43 series. I qualify for EPP Plan. I work with Photoshop and Extensis as well as basic office apps. Internet and web site managing. should I go for the 15 ' or 14.1 . Iwant 128 MB ATI either way. I heard noise issues with T43. I need quiet as possible and CF Card access.
What can anyone tell me best bang for buck and performance specs.
Thanks
Roberto

roberto - since you want something quiet I would go for a 15" T42p if it won't leave your desk much... something like this would be a good deal:

otherwise, Lenovo might have some 14" T42p's on epp, though I called yesterday and several models had reached 'end of life' status so they weren't taking any more orders. the ones that were still available were on a 3-4 week back-order.
